As they were talking, the car arrived at the hotel.
After moving their belongings to the guest room, Guan Mi suggested they get something to eat and then take their parents for a walk.
Then her parents took her sightseeing.
The two had visited this city many times and were far more familiar with it than their daughter.
Some of the attractions that Guan Mi had only seen in travel guides, the two of them had visited several times.
Guan Mi, on the other hand, was full of energy the whole way, running around like a bird, helping the two carry their bags and buy things. He didn't seem tired at all, which surprised Guan's parents.
"Little Confused has really grown up!" Mr. Guan exclaimed.
"She looks to be in good health. Her workplace is in a military-controlled area, so she probably has to do morning exercises," Guan's mother said with relief. "She's definitely gotten in better shape."
“I’ve traveled such a long distance, and I haven’t even broken a sweat,” Mr. Guan said. “He even snatched my suitcase from me at the hotel; he was stronger than me.”
He was so clumsy and didn't know his own strength, he almost made him fall over!
"Do you even have the strength?" Guan's mother glanced at her husband.
"What do you mean by that?" Mr. Guan persisted. "Why don't we go back to the hotel and try again?"
"Okay!" Mrs. Guan smiled.
"The fox's tail has been revealed, hasn't it? I'm not falling for it!" Father Guan shrank his neck and waved at his daughter, "Little scatterbrain, slow down, be careful not to fall!"
Chapter 37 Look at your good wife!
Guan Mi jogged over as fast as she could and handed the water to her parents: "You can call me 'Little Confused' in public, but could you please not say that to my colleagues?"
She plans to take her parents to their workplaces tomorrow, at Liu Chongyu's invitation.
Of course, this only applies to the area at the foot of Yatou Mountain.
Most of the staff work in the office area at the foot of the mountain, while only a few people are qualified to go up the mountain, which is the core of this military-controlled area.
This was also something she had promised her parents before they came.
Her parents were worried because they hadn't been able to see her workplace.
"What's there to be afraid of? Everyone has a nickname!" Mr. Guan said with a smile.
A thought struck Guan's mother, and she looked at her daughter, asking, "Are there any outstanding young men at your workplace?"
Guan's father understood the implication and looked at his daughter in surprise.
Feeling inexplicably guilty under their gazes, Guan Mi felt a little guilty.
She quickly regained her composure: "Don't worry about it, I have no plans to get married in this lifetime!"
Guan's mother was even more worried: "Being a third party is immoral!"
Guan Mi was so angry she wanted to punch her mother. She turned to her father and said, "Guan Mingfei! Look at your good wife!"
Mr. Guan's face hardened: "How can you call your father by his first name?"
He then turned to his wife and said, "What nonsense are you thinking? Would my daughter be that kind of person?"
“If that’s the case, then what’s there to be afraid of!” said Guan’s mother.
Guan Mi stomped his foot in anger, almost crushing the stone brick beneath his feet.
"Mr. Bai is so far away, he definitely can't hear me!" she thought to herself.
She always felt a little embarrassed when her dragon heard her nickname "Little Confused".
However, there was something even more embarrassing for Guan Mi.
……
The next day.
Guan Mi accompanied his parents to the office at the foot of the mountain, where they met Liu Chongyu, who had come especially for them.
After a few warm and polite exchanges, Guan's mother surprisingly asked directly, "Director Liu, do you have any outstanding single young men here? My little scatterbrain is getting on in years..."
"Mom!" Guan Mi's face flushed red, and she almost covered her mother's mouth.
Guan's father hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
Liu Chongyu looked a little embarrassed.
He's almost forty and still single, yet people are pressuring him to arrange his subordinates' marriages!
He tried to remain calm and said, "We have quite a few young people here, but this kind of thing depends on Guan Mi's own wishes."
“She’s been here for quite a while now, but I don’t think she’s taken many vacations. And the social circle here is so closed off,” Guan’s mother sighed.
She stared at Liu Chongyu, her true intentions revealed without any attempt to hide them.
She was not satisfied with her daughter's job.
The thought of such a remote location, a classified unit, made her uneasy.
She would rather her daughter go back to her job as an on-location presenter, at least that would be free.
"Mom!" Guan Mi said angrily.
Liu Chongyu naturally understood what Guan's mother meant and smiled, "You misunderstood. For her, it's quite free here."
“I love it here,” Guan Mi exclaimed. “Mom, don’t worry about my work!”
"But……"
“Director Zhao values her highly and directly handles many matters,” Liu Chongyu said with a smile. “Guan Mi’s importance here even surpasses mine.”
"Director Zhao?" Guan's father asked.
Liu Chongyu nodded: "Your job transfer was arranged by him personally."
Guan's mother remained silent, but the worry on her face deepened.
Guan's father also frowned.
Liu Chongyu looked at the two of them in surprise.
He quickly realized that the two might have misunderstood something and explained, "Guan Mi's work is very important; even the top leaders know her."
His words did not reassure Guan's parents; instead, they made them even more worried.
"My little scatterbrain isn't that capable. Have you misunderstood something?" Guan's mother tried to "snatch" her daughter back.
She increasingly felt that her daughter's situation was very bad.
“Mom, I’m doing very well now!” Guan Mi interjected.
She looked at her father again: "Better than ever before!"
“Yes,” Liu Chongyu said meaningfully, “this job is very suitable for her. Although it is a confidential job, it will not do any harm to her physical or mental health.”
He remarked with a touch of melancholy, "I wonder how many people would want to take his place."
He laughed and said, "Anyone here can be replaced, but she is irreplaceable."
Guan Mi slightly puffed out his chest, his face filled with pride.
This is the base built around the white dragon, and she, the zookeeper, is the core of the core!
Moreover, she was a Dragon Guard unknown to others, a Dragon Head Guard who could sit on the head of a white dragon!
Guan's father and mother understood Liu Chongyu's meaning. They exchanged a glance, and seeing their daughter's proud expression, their worries lessened considerably, but they became even more suspicious.
"Is Little Confused's job safe?" Guan's father asked.
Liu Chongyu laughed: "If we make her unhappy, we'll be in danger!"
These words...
Mr. and Mrs. Guan felt inexplicably uneasy.
"I'll have to ask Director Liu to take good care of my little scatterbrain from now on," said Mrs. Guan. "This girl has been a handful since she was little, so willful and stubborn..."
"You're joking. Guan Mi has a very good personality, and everyone likes her very much," Liu Chongyu said.
He checked the time and said, "It's lunchtime now, how about we go grab a quick bite together and take a look at our meals?"
The two readily accepted the good advice.
Upon entering the restaurant, Guan Mi's mother noticed him looking around suspiciously and asked, "Don't you come here often?"
“Her work is up in the mountains, so she doesn’t come here often,” Liu Chongyu explained. “Only a very small number of people have the authority to go up the mountain.”
Guan's mother hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.
To her surprise, the food here was exceptionally plentiful, with many ingredients even being air-freighted from all over the world.
When Liu Chongyu introduced that the restaurant's head chefs had all had experience hosting state banquets, Guan's father and mother couldn't help but show a hint of shock on their faces.
They became increasingly curious about this place.
Guan's mother even suspected that this place was a "temporary palace" of some important figure.
But then she thought, in this land of Great Xia, which important figure is qualified to do something so ostentatiously?
How ridiculous!
"Perhaps some kind of crucial experiment is taking place here," Guan's mother thought.
During the meal, Guan's father kept chatting with Liu Chongyu, trying to find out more information.
However, Liu Chongyu never revealed what exactly was happening there.
As they were finishing their meal, Guan's mother said, "Director Liu, besides visiting our daughter, we also came here to pay our respects to my sister..."
Liu Chongyu paused, a troubled look on his face, as he held the chopsticks.
He naturally knew what was going on with Guan's mother's sister, since Guan Mi would occasionally go to the mountain to pay respects.
"I'm sorry, the mountain is a top-secret area," he said apologetically. "Going up there requires special permission from Director Zhao."
Guan's mother was taken aback: "But..."
"Mom, don't make things difficult for Director Liu. I visit Auntie regularly!" Guan Mi interrupted.
Guan's mother remained silent.
She was notified about the relocation of the grave at first, but after asking her daughter, she was told that it was unnecessary.
Considering that her daughter worked here, she didn't think much of it at the time.
"We need Director Zhao's approval?" Mr. Guan felt this was a difficult situation and asked, "Isn't there any other way?"
“That matter is of utmost importance, only…” Liu Chongyu was speaking when his expression suddenly changed slightly, and he changed his words, “But you two are Guan Mi’s parents, I can apply…”
Before he could finish speaking, his expression changed again: "Of course you can go!"
Chapter 38 Dragon Palace!
Mr. and Mrs. Guan looked at each other, instinctively feeling that something unexpected must have happened that they didn't know about.
They glanced at Liu Chongyu's ears, trying to see if there was a hidden earpiece there.
Guan Mi seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Liu Chongyu with a look of surprise, asking, "Him?"
Liu Chongyu nodded.
Guan's father blurted out, "Who?"
Their conversation made him realize that the person who seemed to be communicating with Liu Chongyu through an invisible earpiece was the real reason his daughter stayed there.
Who is that person? Does he have more influence than Director Zhao?
In the entire Great Xia Kingdom, there are probably no more than a handful of people who can make Director Zhao listen to their every word!
Liu Chongyu shook his head.
"Dad, don't ask anymore!" Guan Mi said.
Seeing her father's still worried expression, she said, "Anyway, he's fine, very fine."
"How old is he?" Guan's mother stared at her daughter.
She suspected it was likely a man.
